I like it , cooking with butter (no mustard oil) and that KKs mutton masala..hmm..sounds great ( ek din amar daktar bou-r onno-monoskotar sujog niye..mutton ene rendhe felbo..murgi aj kal bibhi-sika hoe gechhe..)

    I will love to have a word with the doc who has restricted mutton eating and would like to know exactly on what scientific ground...
